Camera Buffs - Quick Question

[Ecosse]

Seems like there is a few guys on here into their cameras, so hopefully you'll be able to help

I currently have a Nikon D50 DSLR and a Canon HG20 camcorder.

I'm thinking of selling up and replacing both something like a Canon 550D

Thoughts?

Just to add, the money from selling the D50/HG20 will be used to buy their replacements, so there isn't much scope of adding much money on top.

Are you looking to buy new or second hand?

The 550d isn't a current model, the equivalent now is the 700d which I've got. Been very pleased with it and more than good enough for my use. Generally it's considered better to have better lenses on a cheaper body than than the other way round.

I'll be buying 2nd hand and like I said, the money from selling the D50 & HG20 will be what's spent on their replacement.

Yeah, I know the 550D isn't current, thinking that it'll be a 600D or a Nikon D5200.

Just depends on what shows up for sale at a good price after I've sold up my gear.
